Dear GROMACS users,
I wanna add add a FOR residue containing atom C and O. In oplsaa force field, the most similar residue to formyl (FOR) is ACE. How I can change the ACE in .rtp file in oplsaa ff to define FOR residue as a new residue?
I did like this, Is it correct?


No.  See below.

[ ACE ]
 [ atoms ]
   CH3    opls_135   -0.180     1
  HH31    opls_140    0.060     1
  HH32    opls_140    0.060     1
  HH33    opls_140    0.060     1
     C    opls_235    0.500     2
     O    opls_236   -0.500     2
 [ bonds ]
   CH3  HH31
   CH3  HH32
   CH3  HH33
   CH3     C
     C     O
[ impropers ]
  CH3    +N    C      O     improper_O_C_X_Y

[ FOR ]
 [ atoms ]
  HH31    opls_140    0.060     1
  HH32    opls_140    0.060     1
  HH33    opls_140    0.060     1

A formyl group has only one H atom, since it is an aldehyde.

     C    opls_235    0.500     2
     O    opls_236   -0.500     2

The charges here for C, H, and O will likely have to be recalculated.  See:

 [ bonds ]
     C     O

You need a C-H bond as well.

[ impropers ]
  CH3    +N    C      O     improper_O_C_X_Y


There is no CH3 in a formyl group.
